Frequently Asked Questions for DJs

Some DJs will book as many events as possible, and often times they will try to book multiple events on the same day. If a disc jockey has already performed at an event prior to your event, they will likely be physically exhausted by the latter half of your event. At Pifemaster Productions we only book 1 event per day. This not only allows us to give you our 100% undivided attention, it also allows you the ability to extend the length of your event (right up until 5 minutes before we are scheduled to stop) and know that we will always be available to continue.

It is essential that any DJ you consider, carry a full liability insurance policy. Many banquet halls have even taken the steps requiring all vendors working at their facility, provide proof of insurance prior to the date of the event. At Pifemaster Productions, we carry a million dollar liability insurance policy and will gladly honor requests to provide a certificate of insurance.

In addition to playing music, we will also act as master of ceremonies. We are comfortable speaking in public and will keep your guests involved throughout your event. We will gladly handle any announcements and pride ourselves in our ability to keep your event organized and running smoothly.

At Pifemaster Productions we currently have over 40,000 song titles in our music library, and we add over 250 new song titles each and every month. Our music library spans over 8 decades, so regardless of the type of music you would like to hear, we will be able to satisfy your needs. However, in the unlikely event that we do not have a song that you would like to hear at your event, all you need to do is indicate the song on the planning worksheets and we will obtain any requests that we don’t already have, at no additional charge.

At Pifemaster Productions we gladly take requests. Keep in mind that this is your event, so why settle for a DJ that only wants to play music that they want to hear.

In addition to allowing our customers to submit request lists, we will gladly honor any songs or genres specified on a DO NOT PLAY list.

Absolutely, music is our business, and with over 40,000 song titles currently available, the chances are that we already have your request. But in the unlikely event we would not, we will be more than happy to purchase it without any additional charge to you.

From the moment your guests arrive, we are always dressed in formal attire.

We have developed several activities that are designed to motivate and encourage your guests to have fun. These may be used in combination with party props to give your guests a lasting memory of your occasion. However, we will never ‘surprise’ you with any type of interaction. Since every client has a different vision of what they want at their event, we will always coordinate the level of interaction that you desire.

The short answer is NO, we do not take breaks while at your event. When you hire Pifemaster Productions to perform at your event, there will be continual music from the arrival of the guests, all the way through until the last dance.

Although we have provided DJ entertainment for hundreds of events such as weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs and sweet 16’s, our specialty is definitely wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions. Be sure to browse through our customer reviews to see what many of our former clients have said about our service.

At Pifemaster Productions we use only state of the art professional DJ equipment with names like Denon, Shure, Rane, Dynacord and EV. All of our systems are designed by highly skilled sound and lighting engineers. This type of commitment to excellence is unsurpassed by anyone.

Even the very best and most well-maintained equipment can malfunction at some point. At Pifemaster Productions, we are prepared in case this would happen at your event. We bring a complete second sound system with us to each and every event. This assures that in the unlikely event of an equipment failure, we will be able to continue within moments.

All too often, we hear horror stories about clients that spend thousands of dollars on a wedding, only to hire a disc jockey without a written contract. If your DJ is not willing to provide you with a written commitment, then tell them ‘No Thanks’. At Pifemaster Productions, we are fully licensed, insured and will ALWAYS provide you with a written contract.

You might be surprised how little the difference in cost between a low budget, inexperienced DJ and a highly qualified professional. Our rates are very competitive and we will be more than happy to discuss your event with you and quote you a price. Please give us a quick call at (724) 482-6388.
